Face the C-MUSIC

Elbit Systems will supply the Israeli Ministry of Transportation with the C-MUSIC system (commercial multi-spectral infrared countermeasure) under a contract in the amount of approximately $76 million. The system, to be supplied by Elbit Systems Electro-optics is to be installed aboard a variety of commercial aircraft owned by Israeli commercial airlines. C-MUSIC is based on the MUSIC system, a direct infra-red countermeasure technology for military aircraft and helicopters that disrupts missiles fired at aircraft and causes them to veer off course by transmitting a laser beam. The systems' reliability, rapid-response and ability to deal with multiple threats is considered to be among the most advanced systems of its kind in the world today. Elbit Systems' MUSIC system completed a series of flight tests recently.

Raytec to Illuminate Ports and Airports

Raytec, specialist manufacturers of professional CCTV Lighting, will supply Infra-Red and White-Light LED illuminators to major ports and airports within Europe. Raytec illuminators are used to deliver high CCTV during the vulnerable hours of darkness. At ports and airports illumination is typically used to protect the perimeter of a site against intrusion at night. However, Infra-Red or White-Light can be used to deliver night-time pictures from any camera. Zurich airport in Switzerland recently used several RAYMAX Infra-Red illuminators as part of a camera system designed to read number plates. Additionally a number of seaports are now using Raytec Infra-Red to monitor the coast line or RAYLUX white-light to monitor cargo holding areas.
